Boston Pilot Special Edition: Chesterton Academy of the Immaculata swims ‘against the current’
by Madeline Williams
"A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it," wrote Gilbert Keith (G.K.) Chesterton nearly 100 years ago. This timeless quote has aptly become the motto of those pioneering a resurgence of Catholic, classical education across the country. Fully alive in Christ, the founders, supporters, and families of Chesterton Schools have been able to "swim" against the current culture and open the doors of over 60 schools.
Inspired by the work of the Chesterton Schools Network, a group of Catholic families from the Boston MetroWest suburbs are currently walking a path carved by a few Catholic education innovators over a decade ago. The Chesterton Academy of the Immaculata will open in the fall of 2025 and will begin accepting applications this coming fall.
